I am a Christian (yes, dorky, even), husband to my beautiful wife & best friend of TEN years and father of three adorable children. In my spare time, I like to play guitar and coach little kids' baseball.
I use this website to log my thoughts, happenings & whatnot. Sometimes my posts are work or web-related & sometimes they are family-related or just random.
I produce creative design and code for a living at Visual Notion.
Dr. Tim LaHaye (yes, the Left Behind author) was preaching at Southcrest this morning and tonight.
Dr. Tim LaHaye's comments about the blind man blew me away, this morning. I always wondered why Jesus made mud and rubbed it on the blind man's eyes. Dr. LaHaye said, when he traveled to India, there were a lot of people that simply had no eyeballs at all.
It occurred to him that it was likely that Jesus made this blind man see by CREATING eyeballs for him. This explains this rare instance whereas others were healed by Christ speaking to them. Dr. LaHaye then went on to point out the very thing I was thinking: these eyeballs were created from the same substance that Adam and Eve were created; the dust of the earth.
This also points to Jesus Christ being God's son and brings to mind a passage found in John 5:19 (which is typically titled "The Authority of the Son):
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.
I just found this to be incredible to think about. Jesus created eyeballs.
